On the “Lisa Guerrero Unleashed” podcast earlier this week, Crystal made disturbing allegations against her late husband Hugh — who passed away at age 91. She claimed the businessman tried to “shove twins [Kristina and Karissa Shannon’s] heads onto each other’s vaginas to get them to engage with each other sexually,” calling the alleged act “incest” and “disgusting.” A rep for Kristina and Karissa didn’t respond to Page Six’s request for comment. However, Karissa previously claimed having sex with Hugh was “like rape.” Crystal also claimed Hugh forced her and the other playmates to use dirty sex toys, saying, “I remember him pulling them out and one of them was a black, double-sided one. You could see they were dirty and he’s just grabbing us and grabbing our crotches and grabbing these dirty [sex toys] and just shoving them in us.” A rep for Hugh’s estate did not respond to Page Six’s previous request for comment. The former Playboy model, pictured above with Hugh in 2010, also accused him of forcing her to use dirty sex toys.

Hef surrounded himself with like-minded men, Bill Cosby included, Donald Trump included, and it was very sad.” She added, “We know Cosby is a regular. Bill Cosby hosted the Playboy Jazz Festival for many, many years. And I remember one day we show up to the Playboy Jazz Festival and usually we have to take the picture with Bill Cosby and it’s awkward and he was always gross.” Crystal also revealed that the Playboy Mansion was nicknamed “Jack Nicholson’s drive-thru.” She alleged, “He could drive up, there’d be women there, there’d food there, and he would just collect what he needed and left. We all know that that man is also notorious for being a regular, very regular at the mansion.” Crystal accused Jon Lovitz of being “one of the biggest pervs.” (He is pictured above with George Lopez at a 2013 Playboy party.)

I think many men who came up to that mansion [and] were very sexist and misogynistic are all part of that problem.” She added, “If I could dismantle that toxic masculinity and patriarchy just a little bit, I will feel happy. It’s very sad.” Crystal was married to Hugh from 2011 until he passed away in 2017. Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
